Before the rain transitioned from mist to sheets, Peggy’s Cove was arguably more charming in the overcast weather than it would have been in the sunshine.
As recounted on the official Peggy’s Cove website, legend maintains that “Peggys' Cove was named after the only survivor of a schooner that ran aground and sank in 1800...a woman named Margret. Local folk called her "Peggy" and her home came to be known as Peggy's Cove.”
After a slippery walk along the smooth rock that surrounds one of the most well-photographed lighthouses in the world, we made our way into a warm, dry gift shop where we enjoyed tea and latte. The barista sent us uphill to watch a free 3-man jazz “concert” being performed in the town’s original one-room red schoolhouse (our party made up 5 of the 8-person audience).

Thank you for the great pictures and write up. Peggy's Cove looks fantastic. Were you able to go up in the lighthouse? What did I tell you about lighthouses...note to self..never wear a skirt when climbing up a lighthouse ladder....there is only one way up or down.

It looks really really nice...I can hardly wait to come and visit...checked the paper today, still no seat sales.
See you soon?
